Chapter 277 Returning Home
The Warriors' trip to the East just started and it didn't start well.

Just like the eastern teams are unwilling to come to the west, the western teams actually like to play in the east. Along the east coast style line, there are completely different scenery and scenery from the west.

March is also a month when the team's strength class division is more obvious.

Teams that have a chance to enter the playoffs will do their best this month. Almost every game is very important and will directly affect their place in the playoffs.And the teams that had no chance to enter the playoffs began to selectively play poorly this month. Coincidentally, in some games, they lost to their biggest opponents in the draft.

However, in some games against strong teams, the poor teams played very passionately. Sometimes they even fought against others in one overtime or two overtimes, and even fought to the end with real swords and guns. , won the support of many fans.

In the final analysis, showing bad performance is also a science.

In mid-March, the NCAA National Tournament starts.

On March 3, the Warriors returned home to face the Dallas Mavericks.

"Two days ago, Coach Don Nelson resigned as head coach."

Before the game, Yang Di, who was sitting on the bench tying his shoes, heard Derek Fisher talking to him.

Fisher is quite concerned about the dynamics of some head coaches in the league. Since he returned to the bench, his work tasks have been much lighter. He played about 20 minutes, but the efficiency of the game is higher.Statistics show that in the game after Baron Davis came to the Warriors, Fisher's three-point shooting percentage rose to 40%, a significant improvement.

Hearing what he said, Yang Di raised his head with a slightly puzzled expression.

"Don Nelson?"

"You don't know which team's head coach this is, do you?" Fisher sighed and looked at Yang Di's expression with surprise.

"Well, it seems to be the head coach of the Mavericks. I'm not sure." Yang Di was a little embarrassed. The head coach of the team does not know who it is, and it is indeed a bit unreasonable.

"By the way, it's the head coach of the Mavericks."

"Then who will be the head coach of the Mavericks now?"

"Avery Johnson."

"I really don't know each other this time." Yang Di spread his hands, and to be honest, he was very helpless.

Fisher said: "Avery Johnson just retired the first two seasons. He was a Spurs player before. Just before the start of last season, the elder Nelson wrote to Avery Johnson himself, inviting him to the Mavericks. as an assistant coach."

"so smart?"

"He was appreciated by the old Nelson, and it is only a matter of time before he becomes the head coach."

Fisher paused and continued: "So the style of the Mavericks is also the style of Avery Johnson. I feel that they will continue their offensive style and even become more terrifying and extreme, just like the Phoenix Suns. Team."

"Their offense is already very strong, Dirk Nowitzki, Terry, Finley." Yang Di raised his fingers and counted the Mavericks' offensive stars, definitely no less than the Suns.

"Form a system, exchange speed for offensive space and depth." Fisher looked very researched, which surprised Yang Di.

Then the two stopped chatting, and the Warriors began the ceremony.

On the Mavericks side, there was also a lot of discussion about the Warriors, and the object of discussion was Yang Di, the only player from the Warriors who was selected for the All-Star Game this season.

"Too overwhelming!"

When Sean Bradley thought that he would be facing Yang Di, who was far more powerful than him, his head suddenly became dizzy, and he frowned and complained to Nowitzki.

Nowitzki sympathized and patted Bradley on the shoulder.

"Brother, it's hard for you, but there is no way. Now we are at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Yang Di, so depending on your height, you may be able to limit him a little bit."

Finley said with a smile: "Fortunately, the Warriors just came back from the East. They played a wave of seven consecutive away games in the East."

"Four losses."

"It's a lot of losses, and the record has fallen to eighth in the Western Conference. They will definitely play very fiercely in this game. We should take the lead in preparing."

Everyone talked a lot, and Bradley brought the topic to Yang Di again.

"What's going on with Yang Di? His offensive rebounds and strong offense at the basket are very tricky. I can't get him, and I can't stand him."

"When necessary, I will go inside to help you defend." Josh Howard said.

"Actually, it's best for me to help defend." What did Bradley say, anyway, he is a veteran of the league for more than ten years. With side help, just say it directly, without any embarrassment.

"Yang Di also has mid-range shots now, and he needs to pay attention." Nowitzki added, "After Baron Davis came to the Warriors, Yang Di's mid-range opportunities have also increased a lot, and the average points per game It went up a lot."

If it’s just a mid-range shot, it’s better. Anyway, with Yang Di’s ability, mid-range shots can’t kill anyone, and pulling out to shoot is tantamount to giving up the offensive rebound competition.

The Warriors' appearance ceremony ended, and the starting players who appeared on the field received a standing ovation from the fans.

Wearing a white No. [-] jersey, Yang Di raised his arms high and walked back and forth on the field with his feet bumped. He first high-fived his teammates one by one, and then walked to the bench to high-five the head coach and assistant coaches.

In front of the technical stage, Yang Di clapped hands with NBA scorers, technicians and TV commentators.

Finally back on the field, Dirk Nowitzki took the initiative to greet him, high-fived and hugged Yang Di.

"After Avery became our head coach, we won all the games, are you ready to lose?" Nowitzki said with a smile.

"That's all for three games? I'll break it for you today." Yang Di won't let the Mavericks down.

The two separated, and Yang Di checked all the equipment on his body, lifted the knee pads up, then squatted down halfway, and stretched his waist to pull the meridians apart.

Bradley stood in the middle circle, and the Warriors started with five players.

Warriors starting: Baron Davis, Jason Richardson, Mike Dunleavy, Adonal Foyer, Yang Di.

Mavs starters: Jason Terry, Michael Finley, Josh Howard, Dirk Nowitzki and Sean Bradley.

The referee took the whistle and the basketball to the middle circle, and Yang Di and Bradley stood together to kick off.

"duo~"

A whistle sounded, and the two jumped up at the same time.

The "Big Bamboo Pole" bounces amazingly, and its wingspan and height are much larger than Yang Di. Yang Di did not expect Bradley to jump so aggressively, and his reaction was a little slow. Bradley touched the basketball first and threw the ball. pick away.

Mavericks attack, the game officially begins!
